QCD Axion Kinetic Misalignment without Prejudice

چکیده
The axion field, the angular direction of complex scalar field associated with spontaneous symmetry breaking Peccei-Quinn (PQ) symmetry, could have originated initial non-zero velocity. presence a velocity resulting from additional terms in potential that explicitly break PQ has important phenomenological consequences such as modification mass respect to conventional framework or an explanation for observed matter-antimatter asymmetry. We elaborate further on "kinetic misalignment" mechanism, assuming axions form entirety dark matter abundance. kinetic misalignment mechanism possesses {\it weak} limit which starts oscillate at same temperature framework, and strong} corresponding large velocities effectively delay onset oscillations. Following UV-agnostic approach, we show how this scenario impacts formation miniclusters, sketch details these substructures along detecting signatures.

Cosmologically Safe QCD Axion without Fine-Tuning.
Although QCD axion models are widely studied as solutions to the strong CP problem, they generically confront severe fine-tuning problems to guarantee the anomalous Peccei-Quinn (PQ) symmetry. In this Letter, we propose a simple QCD axion model without any fine-tunings. We introduce an extra dimension and a pair of extra quarks living on two branes separately, which is also charged under a bulk...
متن کاملQCD Axion and Quintessential Axion
The axion solution of the strong CP problem is reviewed together with the other strong CP solutions. We also point out the quintessential axion(quintaxion) whose potential can be extremely flat due to the tiny ratio of the hidden sector quark mass and the intermediate hidden sector scale. The quintaxion candidates are supposed to be the string theory axions, the model independent or the model d...
متن کاملInflating with the QCD Axion
We investigate using the potential for the QCD axion to inflate. In particular, for axion models with a softly broken ZN symmetry, the axion potential has a series of N local minima and may be modeled by a tilted cosine. Chain inflation results along this tilted cosine: a series of tunneling events takes place as the field tunnels its way from an initial minimum near the top of the potential to...
متن کاملString compactification, QCD axion and axion-photon-photon coupling
It is pointed out that there exist a few problems to be overcome toward an observable sub-meV QCD axion in superstring compactification. We give a general expression for the axion decay constant. For a large domain wall number NDW , the axion decay constant can be substantially lowered from a generic value of a scalar singlet VEV. The Yukawa coupling structure in the recent Z12−I model is studi...
متن کاملSupersymmetry Without Prejudice ∗
We begin an exploration of the physics associated with the general CP-conserving MSSM with Minimal Flavor Violation, the pMSSM. The 19 soft SUSY breaking parameters in this scenario are chosen so as to satisfy all existing experimental and theoretical constraints assuming that the WIMP is a thermal relic, i.e., the lightest neutralino. We scan this parameter space twice using both flat and log ...
